Electrostatics? I once wanted to see what would happen
by charging the top plate of box with a certain charge.
I just did a reduced type of Laplacian (the value of
a point in free space is the average of the values of
the points around it) and dropped it into an Excel
spreadsheet. I had to start with a particular value
on the top plate.

Not sure if this type of method is used on the simulators.
